 The boys discuss teams off to great starts (Buffalo!) and horrible starts (Chicago!) as they whip around the NHL. Plus, the Evander Kane saga's latest mess, Jack Eichel update, a rant about the salary cap, NHL dress codes, wrestling finishers during hockey fights and the most overrated, underrated, favorite and least favorite Halloween costumes.

Early Season Panic!

We're Sean "Down Goes Brown" McIndoe of The Athletic and Ryan Lambert of EP Rinkside and this is a hockey podcast, in the sense that we talk about hockey, both on the ice and about fan culture. That’s the “puck.” This is also a podcast about movies, TV, fast food, life lessons and general idiocy. That’s the “soup.” Unless you ordered the minestrone.
